Police Trying To Identify Man Killed In Titusville Collision

TITUSVILLE — A man killed in a motorcycle accident Tuesday night has not been identified and police are asking for assistance in determining who he is.

The accident occurred at the intersection of U.S. Highway 1 and Knox-McRae Drive at 9:45 p.m. The motorcycle struck a Cadillac driven by Larry Barnes, 25, 2450 Tree Lane. The motorcycle was traveling south on U.S. 1 and the northbound Cadillac was attempting a left-hand turn off U.S. 1.

Police said the man, who was in his early 20s, died at the scene.

The motorcycle was a black 1980 Honda CB750K. The victim, a white male, was 6 feet 1 inch tall, weighed 153 pounds, and had brown hair and eyes. He was unshaven and had an earring in his left ear.

Traffic Homicide Investigator David Dalrymple said the man also had several tattoos including a cross on his left arm, a lightning bolt on his left wrist and a heart and cross on his right forearm.

The license plate on the motorcycle was registered to a 40-year-old Merritt Island man who is out of the country, Dalrymple said. It is likely the unidentified man is from the Central Florida region, but no missing person's reports match his description, he said.

Anyone with information about the victim should contact the Titusville Police Department at 269-7500.
